A visitor still needs to understand the offer, ask a question, and take the next step. Cedros keeps the supporting tools in the website workspace.
Shared templates separate layout from content. Improve one design and its linked pages inherit the update, while each page keeps its own message.
Approved knowledge and tools with access you control let the assistant help with supported tasks. Your favorite compatible AI can connect through MCP alongside the built-in assistant.
Keep pages current with drafts, revisions, shared layouts, SEO settings, redirects, and analytics in one workspace. A shared layout update reaches every linked page while preserving its content. Hosted plans include hosting and backups; Developer and Agency also let you connect your own supported AI and email providers.
